Repeal the rule Prosperity. Remove the sentences “Then, for each region that has a negative Prosperity, transfer a Population from a random city in it to a random city in a region that has the highest non-negative Prosperity, if such a region exists.” from the rule Population. Remove the sentence “City Architect may set a blank primary or secondary resource of their region to any non-blank legal value, provided they have secured the assent of every City Architect who controls a city in the same region (this may be secured privately with a public post made to dispute if necessary).” from the rule Resources.

If Proposal: Expand the Red Tape was enacted then revert its changes, as well as the rule Found, if it exists. If Proposal: Regional Culture was not enacted then enact the change to the rule Regions that it would have made.

Add a new subrule to the rule Regions, called Regional Development Fora:

Each Region has a publicly tracked variable called Development Cycle, which must be an integer between 2 and 7 inclusive, defaulting to 3.

If the number of days that have elapsed since the the resolution of the most recent Regional Development Forum for that Region is equal to or greater than its Development Cycle then any City Architect who controls a City in that Region may call a Regional Development Forum for that Region.

A Regional Development Forum is an Event whose name must include the phrase “Regional Development Forum” and some signifier to identify the Region to which it refers, such as its name, if it has one, or the names of the Cities it includes.

The body of a Regional Develolment Forum must include the following information:
* The Region’s current Municipal Authority level;
* The Region’s current Capability, which is defined as the sum of the current Unemployed Population of its constituent Cities;
* One or more Motions, which must include any Motions that were the subject of an Uptake motion in that Region’s previous Regional Development Forum but which can include any other Motions desired by the author.

Motions that can be included in a Regional Development Forum are as follows. For Effortful motions, the number in the square brackets with the word ‘Effortful’ is its Effort Value.
* Cadence [Procedural]: A Motion to change the Development Cycle of the Region to a new valid value.
* Uptake [Procedural]: A Motion to enforce that a specific other Motion be included on the immediately subsequent Regional Development Forum.
* Expel [Procedural]: A Motion to remove a specific City from this Region.
* Brand [Procedural]: A Motion to change the name of the Region.
* Build [Effortful 3]: A Motion to build a specific Zone in a specific City in this Region.
* Develop [Effortful 5]: A Motion to discover a new named Resource (primary or secondary, where the name follows the requirements set out in the rule Resources) in a named City in this Region.

A Response to a Regional Develolment Forum must take the following format:
* May only be posted by a City Architect who was the Controller of a City in that Region at the time when the Regional Develolment Forum was posted;
* Must have a single response to each Motion in that Regional Develolment Forum, where a response to a Procedural motion is either FOR or AGAINST, and a response to an Effortful motion is an integer equal to or greater than zero;
* Must not have values allocated to Effortful Motions that add up to a greater than that City’s Unemployed Population.

A Regional Develolment Forum may only be Ended by any member of that Region after 48 hours, or when all City Architects who control Cities in that Region have posted a valid response to it. The Ending Action for a Regional Develolment Forum is an atomic action, as follows:
* Resolve each Motion in order, from top to bottom, as follows:
** For each Procedural Motion, if it has more FOR votes than AGAINST votes then it is enacted and its change is immediately applied; otherwise it is ignored.
** For each Effortful Motion, if the sum of all Effort allocated to it by Cities in their Responses is greater than the Effort Value for that Motion then it is enacted and its change is immediately applied; otherwise it is ignored.
* Increase the Productive Citizens of each City by its Allocation to Effortful Motions that were enacted.

In the rule Population, change “A City’s Unemployed Population is considered to be its Population minus the number of non-Dilapidated non-Residential Zones it has, to a minimum of zero” to read as follows:

Each City has a number of Productive Citizens, which is a publicly tracked non-negative integer defaulting to zero, and a number of Unemployed Population, which is a derived value that is not publicly tracked. A City’s Unemployed Population is considered to be its Population, minus the number of non-Dilapidated non-Residential Zones it has, minus the number of Productive Citizens it has, to a minimum of zero.

If Proposal: Blaze the Trails was enacted then remove the phrase “As an atomic Weekly Action” from the rule Links and add another type of Motion to the list in the rule Regional Development Fora:

* Connect [Effortful 8]: A Motion to Pathfind on behalf of a City in that Region, which will act as its Hub.
